Something else must have happened here. The Exchange retention settings do
not apply to pst-files but only to the Exchange mailbox.

The directories in the PST files do accept an Auto Archive setting, and
were acted upon by auto archive. They were treated like any other undefined
directory in Exchange.
Is there any document out there that defines what really happens when
Retention policies are used?

Also, under the properties of a folder in the Archive.pst file, Retention
Policy is listed and is currently reading "The network administrator has not
set retention policies."
(Since the last event, I deactivated Retention policies.) Obviously, the
Retention Policy does impact files and folders in the open .PST data file.
